#1. Bir Tuwa is a well next to which the Prophet ﷺ camped for one night, before bathing with its water the next morning, performing salah, and entering Makkah before carrying out the rites of Hajj. Historically, pilgrims would stay here overnight, bathe or do wudhu using its water, and then enter Makkah during the day. The Prophet ﷺ also alighted here during the Conquest of Makkah.
#2. The Stoning of the Devil is part of the annual Islamic Hajj pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. During the ritual, Muslim pilgrims throw pebbles at three walls (formerly pillars), called jamarāt, in the city of Mina just east of Mecca. It is a symbolic reenactment of Ibrahim’s (or Abraham’s) hajj, where he stoned three pillars representing the Shaitan, and Muslims’ temptation to disobey the will of Allah.
#3. Jannat al-Mu’alla is a cemetery to the north of Al-Masjid Al-Haram, and near the Mosque of the Jinn in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. It is the place where the Islamic prophet Muhammad’s wife, grandfather, and other ancestors are buried.
#4. This is an important part of performing the hajj as pilgrims leave Mina for Arafat on the ninth day to recite the Quran and pray. It is also the site where the Prophet delivered his famous last sermon shortly before his death.
#5. The mountain is notable for housing a cave known as Ghār Thawr (Arabic: غَار ثَوْر), in which the Islamic prophet Muhammad took refuge from the Quraysh, during the migration to Medina. For most Muslims, the cave is of religious significance, and is thus visited by many pilgrims and tourists.
